Red Christmas Robe



I made this Sure Fit Designs children's robe for my 4 year old granddaughter Christmas 2012. It fits her very well and she is happy with it and so am I.

Red Robe

This is a Sure Fit Designs pattern from the Children's Kit. I measured my 4 Y.O. Granddaughter and traced off a robe pattern for her. This is the result, it is fleece fabric with embossed teddy bears on it.  I am very pleased with it, this is my first Sure Fit pattern. She lives a distance from me, so may not get a photo of her wearing it. It has yokes both front and back.

Petite Plus Top

Petite Plus Patterns -  I used the Short Sleeve Shell without any alterations.  I used a size 24, but it is a bit big, so will go at least a size down next time. I also want to make this pattern with long sleeves,  PP has a pattern to lengthen the short sleeves on the website. I have lost part of this pattern and the instructions, so I made new facings for the neck and winged the sewing order. I didn't have any problems putting this together, even without the instruction sheet or the facings. This will be my new go to pattern for tees.
